Question: Does the Calf or Lioness PH respawn if Quillmane is up?

I got my cloak awhile ago camping the calf, and I don't think the calf respawned while Quillmane was up. However, a friend wanted to camp Quillmane last night and he was under the impression that you need two people to do it, one to kill the PH and one to track Quillmane, because the calf does respawn even if Quillmane and the Lioness are both up. Asking around we received three conflicting responses:

1) Yes, the calf PH will always respawn even if Quillmane and the loiness are up.

2) No, once Quillmane spawns from killing the calf PH (and the lioness PH is still up), the calf PH will not respawn.

3) The calf PH will skip a spawn when Quillmane pops, but then respawn at the normal spot ~90 secs after Quillmanes spawn time.

My money is on #2, but I decided to crowd source the official answer.

1, just aggro the calf but wait to kill it until QM is dead.

Spawn points are random now? Is this guide worthless now?

Spawn points of what? Quillmane or the PHs?

QM still has the same 3 spawn points, but the elephant calf placeholder is now random.

Lioness has always been random. Since when is calf random? There a link to this information?

Lioness has always been random and still is.

The change was to the elephant calf. The calf is now zonewide, random, roaming spawn. Check the patch notes.

Combine this with the nerf to Tracking skill.. and I'd rather camp 3 Rasters than one Peggy cloak.

Calf is not zonewide.

The whole mechanic here for spawning quill isnt classic compared to live. on live you find the 45 sec mob and thats the Pher just have to kill over and over and its a random creature type not always a calf or Lioness. The spawning system here is just whatever they came up with for some reason.

I guess when I quit playing it wasn't that known on my server. How do you know this is classic? http://home.comcast.net/~echelonforester/quillmane2.htm
